[TOT: 2.606.580.000] Forgetmenot [Sparta] & Sneaky [Sparta] & Senator Helio [Sparta] vs. Mantis [L3GEND] (A: 942.508.000, D: 1.664.072.000)

  • This one is a big boom for everyone involved, here's how it went:


    I was looking around in low g1, lanxing away when I spotted JimmerJam getting attacked by all of Mantis' speed fleet from the same system. It looks like he was timing back an expedition fleet, but why send so much and why did it have 1h8minutes left if he sent from the same system? Whatever the reason, it was time to call on the alliance for a big hit, and we quickly got ready to launch.

    After a few quick calculations it was extremely unlikely that he sent on 20%, so 30% was the final answer, and I had his return time.

    Thankfully, our combined flight times were just a few minutes under his return of 1h9min, so as long as he didn't recall we had him 100%, as long as everything goes according to plan.


    After a brief exchange of messages with the defender he seemed concerned about a possible time-back, but not enough to recall. I also had the chance to learn the reason behind his initial attack. Apparently, JimmerJam has been spending outrageous amounts of resources in the auction house in order to win, even on small items. Clearly, Mantis wasn't having it and wanted to teach him a lesson, so he lanxed JimmerJam's expos and sent everything from the same system.

    Initially, the hit was supposed to be 17K recycler's worth, but I sent 20K, just in case something unexpected happens.

    His attack went though, after which I had two minutes to lock his return and open the acs. The team then had two minutes to join in.


    This is where a tragic accident happened. The initial attack timing was same second, recs 1 second behind, but then someone joined late, delaying everything by 7 seconds. Had to recall the recs and send again, making them 10 minutes late and giving the defender 7 seconds of play to either escape or defend.

    Figured we might as well keep flying and see what happens, it's not like he's going to gather up all his ships and suicide them on our attack right?


    Right, he gathered 9k recyclers on his moon, sent his rips to land between his fleet return and our attack, and sent the recs to get what debris he could after the landing.

    This is the result, all that's left of mantis' fleet are his 75 rips and the 20-23% from the space dock.

    Mantis refused to send me his recyclers's API key to complete the post, so assume that his around 250M less.


    Honestly kind of an insane play from him, with 7s i would've tried to escape instead. Turns around 400M profits into a 200M loss, but at least it was interesting :)

  • That was an insane calculation and hit mate, well timed and played however, as I told you, would glad accept loses to be in that acs. Everyone FR and Mantis, atleast theres docks and those 9k recs, FR, u couldnt do much

  • Since they already had me in their sights, I told myself that I wouldn't just let myself be destroyed, so I used every means at my disposal to stab at least a thorn in their heart as a goodbye. I gathered everything I could in one place hiding with the Stars and it turned out that I spoiled their profit at least. It was my second ogame game and I made a lot of mistakes, and since I was getting ready for a new universe anyway, I wanted to come out of this fight with honor. I know that if I showed that the Stars are waiting, they would turn back, but I wanted to end it differently. Congrats on Senator's skills, very good player.
